I realize that you have to "see a player to know" but do those numbers attract interest.

In recruiting emails, the kids are taught to lead with their best stats.

How do you get that RC or Scout to take a minute to look at the email?  And then get them interested enough to come see.

Would a line like top national travel team, 100 mph exit velo, batting .478 with zero strikes outs and 1 out of 3 hits a double. 1.147 OPS in all PG Events grab their interest?

At competitive D1 & D2 programs RCs don’t often develop interest as a result of emails they receive from players. Lots of them don’t even read their email. When they become aware of a prospect (usually by word of mouth) they are going to seek out trusted sources for opinions and then react accordingly. When D1/D2 Coaches show up at big events they have a list in hand of the players they want to see.  Good luck being noticed if you aren’t already on somebody’s list.  In D3 maybe emails are more effective and a good showing at an event might turn into something.
